Language Support

In addition to Object Nationalizer we offer the automisation of the translation process — On_Parse program. ON_Parse is a parse-and-translate program for resource files generated by Centura Object Nationalizer.

lang_sup_On_Parse

It is intended for:

  • resource file parsing and finding sentences and strings for translation;
  • resource file sweeping (i.e. all unnecessary information is removed from the resource file, the operation results in much faster resource application in case the large applications);
  • resource file translation.

With ON_Parse you can:

  • import sentences from resource file to a database.
  • export sentences to text file (as CSV or tab-separated) or MS-Excel sheet (XLS).
  • import sentences along with their translations from a text file (CSV or tab-separated).
  • sweep and translate the resource file using translations from database.
  • view and edit translations in several languages.

The standard step sequence is:

  • (1) Object Nationalizer steps:
    • 1.1 Open an application (for instance, GHS.EXE).
    • 1.2 Export the source into a text file.
  • (2) On_Parse steps:
    • 2.1 Specify Source resource file.
    • 2.2 Extract sentences from resource file.
    • Export phrases to an external file.
  • (3) Translate phrases (separate process).
  • (4) On_Parse steps:
    • 4.1 Import translations into the translation database.
    • 4.2 Translate the resource file (based on the translation database) with sweeping.
  • (5) Object Nationalizer steps:
    • 5.1 Open the application (GHS.EXE).
    • 5.2 Apply the translated resource on the loaded application.

Translation list

The translation list allows viewing source phrases and editing their translations applying them directly into the database.
